(Spoilers for the series finale)
Cozy Glow was supposed to be stripped of her phenomenal, cosmic power when she was defeated.
Instead, she just lost her memory. Having super powers and being pursued by the authorities, she comes to the only obvious conclusion a comic-reading child could:
She's clearly a superhero vigilante!
A trainwreck of idiotic decisions follows.
Part of the Cozy Hero continuity.
Is cozy glow a sociopath my knowledg of psychology is on the level of sigmund freud and i dont want to get things wrong when i write her
This looks interesting and potentially hillarious. Hopefully it won't end badly for our new hero. I love how you can still see a bit of her villainy in her even now.
10006131
There is no concrete evidence or conformation of her being one.
Oh dear
Oh dear.
Oh dear.
This was wonderfully chaotic. Ever thought that crosses Cozy's mind was pure unadulterated magic. I eagerly await the untold shenanigans that lurk in future for our truly wonderful heroine.
10006143
Originally I kinda planned to just roll with her new persona wholesale, but I find it a lot funnier having it clearly and identifiably be Cozy Glow, just highlighting her more childish side and putting her in very different circumstances.
10006145
Glad you liked it. Given how tired I was when I wrote it I didn't feel like any of it came off.
I am so LOVING THIS! Seriously this just has so much potential for chaos, that Discord himself might get jealous.
10006143
as i said my knowledg of psychology is limited. But considering the idea that friendship is not about personal gain flew completley over her head, im inclined to believe it. I mean if you in to a schoo whose whole purpose is to teach friendship and still not get that message there' something wron with you.
10006143
she seems like one whos not above tormenting a small animal at the very least
10006163
That could simply mean she's either very stubborn in her ways or has other mental issues. Just because her time at the school failed to teach her that doesn't mean she's incapable of genuene friendship.
She most likely simply memorized a bunch of texts and lectures and presumably aced some tests and while that would make her a good student, it wouldn't make her good at friendship and I don't remember seeing her participate in any extracurricular activities with anyone else besides assisting Twilight. I remember having to memorize poems in middle school and while I did manage to do that and get a nice grade for it I never really got the meaning of those poems nor did I ever take any lessons it may or may not have had to heart. Not to mention how most of the classes seamed to consist of either history lessons or whatever subjects the Main 6 wanted to teach (animal care, PE).
TLDR, going to a friendship school doesn't mean you'll immedietly be a good person with lot's of friends.
10006155
Glad to hear it ^.^ Hope I can live up to that promise
10006177
You're basically right about all of this. Still, even if she just memorized everything, it could come in handy later...
10006178
Glad you think so!
Damn, this was hillarious. Once again I love how Cozy still has mannerism's simmilar to a villains even while being a superhero. Her trying to copy Zecora's (I assume it's her) rhyming was also great. Can't wait to see her attempts to evade the "villains".
An actual laser would at least have more predictable results. Less child friendly, sure, but less of a throw of the dice than your typical magical blast.
I can literally hear her voice in my head. It's amazing.
It's what happens if you have the misfortune of taking an arrow to the knee. Remember children: practice proper bow safety.
An angelic chorus opens up as the heavens themselves stand in awe of the heat of that burn.
Okay, if I just quote and respond to every good line and bit I will just be copy and pasting the whole fic into the comment. Everything about this was great. Cozy's plan. Cozy's thoughts. Cozy's dialogue. Cozy's rhyme. Cozy. I am 100% glad that this is a thing that is now happening.
10006177
like i said im an ignorant buffon and you're probably right. But ill stick with my interpretation for now because writing a 12 year old kid who acts like that is entertaining in a dark sort of way
Stealing isn't especially heroic...
Though one supposes it could be justified as part of the greater good. Hmm.
10006262
Right now she's justifying it as 'need outfit to not die'
10006177 on all seriousness tho
the thing about fiction is that face value doesn' mean anything we can take away whatever we want for any reason. That's just what i see given her characterization. Just like how i see pinkie as virtuous but overly straightforward while others see a slightly narrow-minded scatterbrain.

YOUR WISH IS GRANTED
Golly is the best superhero in Equestria confirmed.
10006634
Have another update, just for you!
You write a very good Cozy. Honestly everything about this was amazing.
10006716
Working on the next chapter now.
10006725
Man, you are fast. Can't wait!

New update,
10006730
just for you two!
I've gotten two whole followers out of this story, hot dang.
And so commences the meeting of two massive ego's.
Oh Cozy...
You motherfucker.
Curved XP scaling is a curse and a boon.
I mean, when she described the costume, I saw this coming, but still, it has to be said:
You son of a bitch.
I was waiting for it. I was watching for it. I was not ready for it.
"Dashing" ...I'm not sure that's quite the superhero thing to think at this moment.
...
Oh boy. So many chapters to go.
Oh no. Is this headed where I think it's headed?
Just hearing this in my head in Cozy Glow's voice cracks me up.
Remember kids, fancy katas win oohs and aahs but a mean right hook still wins fights.
This headed exactly where I thought it was headed.
Dramatically Ironic Oof.
God damnit.
Dashing Saviour, Master Specialist Shadeomancer, strikes again!
Oh no. She can rhyme.
Oh no. She can rap.
Also: Petition for ERB to do Cozy Glow vs. Darla Dimple.
Amen.
Interesting, it seems both pre and post amnesia Cozy's are doing the things they did for affection and admiration, yet they have no idea what their doing or why their doing it beyond that.
So... being nice was in Cozy's head the whole time, but it was clouded by some grudges she held against ponies.
I've been waiting three whole chapters for this.
*cracks knuckles*
Let's do this!
... *quickly checks Google to make absolutely sure.*
...You son of a bitch.
I got to admit, out of all the ways this could have gone, Rainbow Dash fangirling over Cozy Glow repressed-memory-LARPing as her was pretty amazing.
... Cheeky bitch...
Oh my god. Rainbow Dash and Cozy thinking she is Rainbow Dash mutually fan-girling is so amazingly delicious.
"Quillion, we wanted to show you this... we found this in a corn field... and you were inside of it. You aren't from here, daughter."
... The oofs. They keep coming.
8/10, Would watch an amnesiac psychopathic gradeschooler grapple with the bottomless rational void of their own prior behavior and current motivations again. Too much water.
Okay, doing quote spam is starting to get tiring with the sheer pace of these updates, but;
You cheeky git.
Anyway, fun chapter. Seriously, though; something has gone absolutely crazy in Equestria with all these villains and monsters about.
... THANKFULLY, THE DASHING SAVIOUR IS HERE TO SAVE THE DAY!
Also: Jesus christ, scalding fluid to the face is no fucking joke. That kid, and also Cozy, could easily get permanent scarring from that.
You are an impressively fast writer. I love how despite everything Cozy still feels in character.
10006869
The other kid only caught it on his flank, thanks to Cozy.
10006877
That's what I was going for. Glad to hear I'm getting it.
Welp, this is awkward, but at least theres a new villain to distract Twilight!
Don't worry, Cozy, this purple mare is just a show-off, high on her own farts. You're the best.
"40. I will be neither chivalrous nor sporting. If I have an unstoppable superweapon, I will use it as early and as often as possible instead of keeping it in reserve."
Dear god, this image is adorable, terrifying, and 100% Cozy.
Oh shi-
Ah, I love that "and suddenly Luna is there" is perfect shorthand for "this is obviously a dream."
This is going zero to sixty real quick.
And it thickens every second!
Oh shit. Was the dude she beat the shit out of Starswirl?
... Oh, I'm sad now.
I wonder how many more dominos there are to fall.
Coming from Luna, this gets an Oof.
And in the void that existed after the end of time, echoing just faintly beneath the syllibant hisses of the neverwas's and nevershouldhavebeens is a single, echoing "Oof."
Boy howdy!
Go, little filly!
Poor, poor Cozy Glow... Reality crashing pretty hard at her.
Damn, at this rate you should add a drama tag. Loving this story.
10007164
I consider it being on my profile an automatic drama tag at this point. I can't seem to help myself.
10007118
Or is reality the one being crashed into by Cozy Glow?!
